Ion swap dramatically improves performance of CO2-defeating catalyst
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

A team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory found an unconventional way to improve catalysts made of more than one material. The solution demonstrates a path to designing catalysts with greater activity, selectivity and stability.

Carbon-capture batteries developed to store renewable energy, help climate
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

.Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are developing battery technologies to fight climate change in two ways, by expanding the use of renewable energy and capturing airborne carbon dioxide. This type of battery stores the renewable energy generated by solar panels or wind turbines. Utilizing this energy when wind and sunlight are unavailable requires an electrochemical reaction that, in ORNL’s new battery formulations, captures carbon dioxide from industrial emissions and converts it to value-added products.

A Surprising Discovery: Magnetism in a Common Material for Microelectronics
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Nickel monosilicide (NiSi), a material widely used to connect transistors in semiconductor circuits, was wrongly predicted by theory to be non-magnetic. Now scientists have used neutron scattering to identify an elusive form of magnetic order in NiSi. This finding could lead to improved semiconductors for computers and computer memory.

Speedy, Secure, Sustainable — That's the Future of Telecom
Brookhaven National Laboratory

Advanced information processing technologies offer greener telecommunications and strong data security for millions, a study led by University of Maryland researchers revealed. A new device that can process information using a small amount of light could enable energy-efficient and secure communications.

Using artificial intelligence to speed up and improve the most computationally-intensive aspects of plasma physics in fusion
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are using artificial intelligence to perfect the design of the vessels surrounding the super-hot plasma, optimize heating methods and maintain stable control of the reaction for increasingly long periods.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Observes Five Never-Before-Seen Isotopes
Department of Energy, Office of Science

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) has discovered five never-before-seen heavy element isotopes: thulium-182 and 183, ytterbium-186 and 187, and lutetium-190. Researchers found the new isotopes in the debris of collisions between a stable beam of platinum-198 and a carbon target. These results show the potential for FRIB as it increases its capabilities.
